The Chaves Knives Liberation Street Integral Gray Belt Satin is a masterclass in craftsmanship, materials, and design, offering a perfect balance of utility and refinement. Built for enthusiasts who expect nothing short of excellence in their gear, this everyday carry folding knife combines rugged dependability with an understated elegance that’s impossible to ignore. Every detail has been carefully considered, resulting in a knife that not only performs flawlessly but also feels like a precision-crafted tool worthy of admiration.
At the forefront of this design is a 3.5-inch tanto blade forged from Bohler M390 stainless steel. Widely recognized as one of the finest blade steels available, M390 delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The tanto profile provides unmatched piercing strength and a long, flat cutting edge that excels at slicing, giving the blade both tactical utility and everyday practicality. Finished with a refined belt satin treatment, the blade reflects a hand-touched quality, adding a premium aesthetic that pairs beautifully with its performance-driven geometry.
The action is smooth and responsive thanks to the flipper tab, which deploys the blade cleanly and reliably. This knife is a manual folder, relying on finely tuned precision rather than spring assistance, giving you a level of control and mechanical satisfaction that discerning users will appreciate. Once deployed, the framelock mechanism engages solidly, keeping the blade securely in place while you work. Every movement—from opening to closing—speaks to the meticulous engineering that defines the Liberation Street Integral.
The handle is crafted from gray titanium, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and enduring durability. Titanium offers a lightweight yet solid feel, ensuring that the knife remains comfortable to carry while still feeling substantial in hand. The integral construction means the handle is milled from a single piece of titanium, minimizing weak points and highlighting the precision and artistry that went into its design. The gray finish offers a clean, modern aesthetic that’s both professional and versatile, pairing perfectly with the satin-finished blade for a cohesive look.
Measuring 4.12 inches closed and 7.62 inches overall, this knife is sized for carry while providing enough blade and handle length for serious cutting tasks. The .15-inch blade thickness adds durability without compromising slicing performance, while the overall weight of 5.14 ounces gives it a confident presence in the pocket without tipping into bulkiness. A tip-up pocket clip provides a secure and discreet carry option, ensuring the Liberation Street Integral is always within reach when needed.
Every feature of this knife reflects the philosophy of Chaves Knives: bold design, premium materials, and uncompromising execution. It’s not just a cutting tool—it’s a showcase of what happens when form and function meet at the highest level. The tanto blade design makes it versatile and strong, the titanium handle guarantees longevity, and the belt satin finish provides a touch of refined artistry that elevates it above the ordinary.
